OnBase breaks down silos and promotes teamwork while accelerating interdepartmental workflow. Imagine procurement, accounting, human resources, operations, IT, legal, engineering, research and development, sales, customer service, logistics, and quality readily sharing vital information. Through streamlining processes and enabling staff members to focus on value-added projects, OnBase creates this reality.
OnBase provides a centralized repository for documents, accessible to all departments. OnBase ensures that everyone can find what they need, from engineering schematics and quality control reports to compliance documentation, through its efficient document management system.
Example: The engineering team can collaborate seamlessly with production by sharing updated blueprints and specifications directly within OnBase.
Through automation of repetitive tasks, OnBase simplifies procedures. Workflows guarantee that data moves naturally across departments.
Example: OnBase sets alarms for inventory control, finance, and manufacturing planning when procurement accepts a purchase order.
OnBase dashboards provide important metrics real-time visibility. Departments can track performance, spot problems, and guide decisions by means of performance analysis.
Example: While logistics watches delivery delays—all from the same system—finance may track invoice processing timeframes.
OnBase lets users directly work on documents. Additions of annotations, comments, and approvals help to promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
Example: Quality control notes engineering reviews suggested design changes—all within OnBase—on inspection reports.
OnBase guarantees industry sector compliance. Departments can show adherence, record document changes, and keep audit trails.
Example: HR may confirm employee certifications using OnBase’s safe records while Legal has access to past contracts.
The OnBase mobile app lets staff members access procedures and documentation anywhere. Information is at their hands, in the boardroom or the warehouse.
Example: Salespeople might use their cellphones to access product specs during client visits.
For worldwide manufacturing firms, OnBase is a great tool since it promotes cooperation, efficiency, and openness between divisions.
At LBMC Technology Solutions, we’ve witnessed the impact of OnBase on the finance and accounting departments. Automated invoice approvals, payment processing, and audit trails lowers manual labor and error count. Executive dashboards and real-time reporting give information for proactive decisions and guarantee regulatory compliance.
Consider a manufacturing company daily receiving hundreds of invoices. These bills were historically manually checked, approved, and handled. Using OnBase, the process simplifies.
Efficiency with OnBase:With OnBase, the clerk uploads the invoice. She is efficient. OnBase routes it immediately to the suitable manager for clearance. Reviewing the invoice, the manager approves it straight within OnBase and notes comments if needed. The system starts payment processing and notes the approval trail.
Our HR professionals value OnBase’s effective employee document management capability. OnBase safely saves all pertinent data from onboarding to retirement. Retention rules guarantee compliance, and missing documentation is immediately found. Knowing that document management is taken care of easily, HR managers can concentrate on employee development and involvement.
Good onboarding guarantees fast productivity of newly hired staff. OnBase simplifies this process.
Efficiency with OnBase: HR posts to OnBase the technician’s documentation—resume, offer letter, tax papers, etc.). OnBase applies retention rules, automatically generates an employee folder and sorts documents. To finish extra forms—benefits enrollment, emergency contacts, etc.—the technician logs on to the OnBase portal. HR monitors progress and ensures all required documents are collected.
OnBase digitizes procedures to improve manufacturing operations. From quality control to work orders, OnBase makes sure important records are available as needed. Imagine a manufacturing line in which operators, all within a single system, quickly access work instructions, quality standards, and maintenance data. Savings in cost and better product quality follow from efficiency gains.
OnBase gives quick access to critical documents, hence improving manufacturing processes.
Efficiency with OnBase: The worker scans a QR code on the assembly station. OnBase retrieves the relevant work instructions, including diagrams and safety precautions. The worker follows step-by-step instructions directly from their tablet or workstation. Any updates to work instructions are automatically reflected in OnBase.
